Does Google REALLY think I'm just going to turn the Spyware back on? (lemmy.zip)

Google keeps asking about turning on my location timeline, trying to push for me to turn ON Ad tracking.

Are they stupid? If I'm the type of person who went out of his way to turn this crap off ...do they really think saying "Your in Control" is going to encourage me to turn this s*** back on?

Neigsendoig has a solution for that that I looked into, and found to be a good idea. I'd recommend Untraceable Digital Dissident, as one of the articles talks about how your phone is a snitch.
